While the BRO might not have been able to meet the earlier announced timeline of reopening Srinagar – Leh Highway by 31st of March, they are confident that if the weather remains favorable, then the Srinagar – Leh Highway would reopen for light vehicles by the 5th of April 2013 i.e. this Friday.

Of course even 5th April is quite early on in the season, in comparison to earlier years and goes to show the enhancements BRO has made in their infrastructure and manpower to ensure such speedier reopening of this crucial highway to Ladakh.
